Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare 4 microwave-safe mugs or ramekins by lightly greasing them with butter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and baking powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Pour in the milk and mix until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Melt the butter and add it to the batter, stirring gently to incorporate completely.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 4 prepared mugs, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
- Carefully pour the hot maple syrup mixture over the batter in each mug, ensuring it covers the top of the batter.
- Place the mugs on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The dessert will be extremely hot, so allow it to rest before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and more even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter - some small lumps are perfectly fine and will ensure a tender texture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, use high-quality pure maple syrup.
- Make sure to place the mugs on a baking sheet to catch any potential syrup overflow.
- Let the dessert rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the syrup to settle and cool slightly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature experience.
- For a gourmet presentation, dust with powdered sugar or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
